Windows Theme/UI Update « Chromatic Pixel
In: Firefox
22 Dec 2009Excellent run-through of design permutations and direction for Firefox 4, currently in development. I’m loving the Firefox button concept, shown above, that would house the current text menu. This is similar to the new UI design for Windows apps and Office 2007, and Office 2010. Many other images are provided. Windows Theme/UI Update « Chromatic [...]

Google News Will Not Accept Single Author Blogs
In: Google
22 Dec 2009As an author (it almost sounds funny saying that) of several incredibly low-traffic blogs, I have been looking at different ways to both increase my readership, by integrating and sharing posts into my miscellaneous social media personas, some general social bookmarking at sites like Delicious, Reddit, and the like, as well as some other general [...]

Firefox Browser | Free ways to customize your Internet
In: Firefox
16 Dec 2009The latest version, 3.5.6, is just out of beta, and I highly recommend it. It boasts improved Javascript performance (and it wasn’t too shabby to begin with), as well as Firefox’s standard security, performance, and customization options. If you’re using Internet Explorer, Chrome, or any other browser, Firefox is worth a shot. Firefox Browser | [...]

Goo.gl: Google Launches a URL Shortener, Too

14 Dec 2009Not to be left without a URL shortener service of their own… Google has launched http://goo.gl/. As with Facebook’s http://fb.me service, it’s not really available the public yet, for manual or automated creation of shortened URLs, but it is being used by the Google Toolbar and Google’s Feedburner service.

Facebook Testing New URL Shortener, fb.me
In: Facebook
14 Dec 2009Facebook launches their own URL shortener, much like http://bit.ly, http://tinyurl.com and others, except for the fact that you can’t really use it yet, unless you use Facebook on a mobile device. Those devices are automatically using the shortener; I’m assuming it will be deployed to a wider audience, with tools, etc. at some point. You [...]

Information Architecture: The Backbone Of SEO & Usability
In: SEO
4 Dec 2009Great article here from Kim Krause Berg, founder of the Cre8asiteForums, and Usability Consultant for UsabilityEffect.com. It echoes my thoughts and explains the “unintentional” SEO I’ve done for my website design clients since 1998. Good SEO, with users visiting a site, staying a while, recommending it to their friends and associates, and maybe even making [...]
